Pictures of your Norton Commandos

[Jerry Doe]

Got it ready for summer! Nice ride out and it’s running perfectly. Since I restored it in 2012, had hardly any issues. Most work done on it is upgrades. I just removed the Shorai batteries and put a AGM in, turned into quite a major rewire. Fun to ride.

Typical really. Showcasing these highly polished bikes that never go anywhere…

Looks like that's not one of those examples.

Some people ride a lot, and ALSO wash their bikes regularly...

He recently rode to the Arctic Circle and back on it GP, unaccompanied.

Whilst mine stayed in its heated shed.

Hence the banter…

Interstate or Roadster?

Which would you choose and why?

Nigel, after the last 2 weeks travelling, ultimately I’d do as you and have both. I’m with a couple on an Interstate and not having either range anxiety or filling up every 100-125 miles a huge benefit. Having said that I’ve not had any issues with E5 availability bar 1 fill with E10 which caused no problems

Looks wise I prefer the Roadster but still like the Int nonetheless. Not sure how the extra weight would effect the handling though but to be fair I’ve far more than an extra 25L behind me and can still attack the switchbacks

Talking of switchbacks, I’m presently in Valfrejus and the road up is absolutely epic. Final decent today 6.5 km

Either- a fussy man's a lonely man

I am partial to the Interstate but think it is all in the eye of the beholder.

I am biased towards a Roadster, but maybe a Fastback LR tank would be a good compromise? A bit bigger, but not oversized.

Commando photo of the year winner for me. Spectacular shot

I choose the one I am currently riding. A Norton in motion is always better than a static one.
